Chapter 2429 Requiem Tree Egg
“Trees make babies? Is this requiem tree a xenogeneic?” Han Sen asked in confusion .
Miss Mirror shook her head . “I don’t know if the requiem tree is a xenogeneic, but it doesn’t produce babies . The tree egg is essentially a collection of the tree’s resin . The more energy a requiem tree takes in, the more resin it can produce . That resin gathers inside the tree hole to become an orb . It looks something like an ant egg . They are called tree eggs . ”
“I was told a story of a man who managed to get a requiem tree egg that was around the size of a fingernail . He was only a low-tier King, but he used the requiem tree egg’s power to advance all the way to deified . Ever since then, requiem tree eggs have become the most sought after treasure in the entire universe . But the ability of requiem tree eggs to help a King class being rise to deified is only of secondary importance . People are more interested in them because they can be used to help deified individuals ascend . ” Miss Mirror paused and went on to say, “But considering the battle that happened here, I’m afraid the requiem tree egg inside the tree hole has already been taken away . ”
“Maybe it’s still here . Let me see,” Night Wind said . Then he launched himself into the air and flew up to the tree hole . He hovered right in front of it, putting his eyes right near the tree hole to peer inside .
“This tree hole is strange . I’m looking right into it, but I cannot see anything inside,” Night Wind said to Miss Mirror .
“Requiem trees are resting trees for the Ancient God . They have unusual powers, so not even deified elites can see what is inside the tree hole . Luckily, requiem tree holes aren’t dangerous . Just put your hand inside,” Miss Mirror said .
Night Wind hesitated, but he did as he was instructed . Just in case, he shrouded his hand in night power that would defend against anything evil that might have taken up residence inside the tree hole . Then he placed his hand into the hole .
She said the tree hole wasn’t dangerous, but who knew if some toxic bug had decided to make its home there or something . This entire city felt cursed, and so by Night Wind’s reasoning, bizarre toxic bugs weren’t out of the question .
Seeing Night Wind place his hand in the hole, Han Sen felt nervous on his behalf . If there was something weird inside the tree hole, and it pulled Night Wind inside, that would actually be kind of scary .

But after Night Wind plunged his hand into the hole, a grin crossed his face . He shouted, “There is something in here! It is circular, and it feels like a stone . I don’t know if it is a requiem tree egg, however . ”
“Touch it with your hand . If it is a requiem tree egg, your hand will smell like resin,” Miss Mirror said .
Night Wind touched the item and then pulled his hand out of the hole to sniff it .
He didn’t actually need to bring it up to his nose . Even at the bottom of the tree, Han Sen and Miss Mirror could smell that pleasant, grassy fragrance . Just the smell alone was enough to make Han Sen feel like his body was waking up after a long winter . He felt so relaxed, it was like his cells were coming alive .
“Not bad! That is the smell of a requiem tree egg . I can barely believe that the requiem tree egg is still there . Pull it out!” Miss Mirror said .
Night Wind immediately reached into the hole again to pull the tree egg out . But when he tried to draw his arms back out, they stopped abruptly . He couldn’t seem to get the egg out .
“The egg is too big! I can’t get it to fit through the hole,” Night Wind said . He pulled out his sword of darkness to slash the tree hole in an attempt to widen it .
But when the sword of darkness hit the bark of the tree, it only left a small white scratch mark behind . There wasn’t the faintest semblance of a firm dent .
“Trying to cut it is useless! The requiem tree is the resting place of many members of the Ancient God . Even a tiny requiem tree is impervious to most powers and gear, and this tree is enormous,” Miss Mirror said .

“Can he not crack the egg into pieces and bring them out like that?” Han Sen said .
“The egg will be harder than the requiem tree itself . How is he supposed to break it?” Miss Mirror rolled her eyes at Han Sen . Then she turned to Night Wind again . “How big is the tree egg?”
“Very big…” Night Wind said, his voice strangely distracted .
“How big is very big? Big like a brain?” Han Sen asked with a laugh .
A fingernail-sized requiem tree egg turned a King into a deified . If there was a brain-sized requiem tree egg, it would probably start a war that would consume the entire universe .
“If your brain is one meter across, then yes, it is sized like your brain,” Night Wind said quietly . Han Sen noticed that the man’s eyes were very wide .
“What? That large?” Han Sen asked hoarsely . His eyes almost popped out of his skull . He could scarcely believe how big that was .
“Are you sure that is a requiem tree egg and not something else?” Miss Mirror asked with shock . Not even she could believe it .
No one had ever heard of such a giant requiem tree egg before . Even small eggs were considered priceless relics among deified elites, but this…

The thought of a one-meter long requiem tree egg was enough to make people’s blood boil and their hearts leap in their chests . The power of something like that was beyond imagining .
“I don’t know . You should confirm it yourself, Miss Mirror . ” Night Wind came down from the tree hole . He still looked somewhat shell-shocked as he spoke to Miss Mirror .
It was weird to see such an expression on Night Wind’s face . But when seeing a requiem egg such as that, even a deified was bound to have difficulty managing their excitement .
A requiem tree egg could strengthen deifieds . A requiem tree egg the size of a plum could increase a deified’s level by quite a bit . If a deified refined a tree egg of this magnitude, they could easily become a god spirit .
Miss Mirror flew up to the tree hole . She put her hand in and began feeling around the tree hole . Seconds later, her jaw hung slack in wonder .
“It really is a requiem tree egg . I cannot believe that such a large egg exists . ” Miss Mirror finally said after ten minutes of fiddling . Her expression said that she wasn’t entirely sure how she should feel .
“It really is a requiem tree egg,” Han Sen and Night Wind said together .
“Yes, and it is also circular . It is somewhere between a meter and two meters across . ” Miss Mirror couldn’t help but sigh . “It is a shame that the tree hole is only the size of a fist . If it was a small requiem tree egg, we could take it out . Now we know that there is a tree egg inside and that it is something that would change the universe as we know it . However, we don’t have a way to remove it . ”
“Wait! Maybe there’s a way to get it out . ” Night Wind suddenly sounded exhilarated .
“What? You have a way to expand the tree hole?” Han Sen looked at Night Wind . Miss Mirror looked at him as well, a single eyebrow raised .
Instead of answering, Night Wind used his finger to point at the tree excitedly, and spoke, “Look over there . ”
Han Sen and Miss Mirror followed his finger . A deep scar ran across one side of the tree . It was a three-foot-long gash, and it was three fingers deep, at least .
“That is a sword mark . ” Han Sen’s eyes brightened .
The sword mark was old, and even though the tree had healed, there was a scar . But based on the angle of the scar, it looked as if it had been delivered by the big sword they had found earlier .
